All non-U.S. citizens who are seeking undergraduate enrollment and who hold permanent resident alien status in
the United States apply through undergraduate admissions.

Prospective students should apply as early as possible. All necessary credentials, such as application
forms, all official transcripts, required entrance test scores, etc., must be on file in the Office of Admissions
(undergraduate) by the following deadlines to be evaluated and processed for admission and enrollment at
UNT (applications received after these deadlines will be subject to a late registration fee).

Students who submit applications after these dates, if accepted, will have to register during the late
registration period and pay a late registration fee.

* UNT is in the process of evaluating the format of summer course offerings and associated
enrollment services. See essc.unt.edu/registrar/schedule.htm for the latest information.

Any applications received after the above deadlines must be accompanied by all official transcripts
and required test scores for evaluation. The prospective student must meet the stated admission requirements
and must register in late registration and will be subject to a late fee. No applications for admission by
individual review can be accepted after these dates.
No applications for Fall 2004 will be accepted after Monday,
August 23; no applications for Spring 2005 will be accepted after Monday, January
10. All new undergraduate students enrolling must comply with state law and university policies concerning the Texas Success Initiative
(formerly TASP) as described in the Academics section of this publication.

High School Graduates

Students admitted to the first semester of college work must have graduated from an accredited high
school. To apply, students must present satisfactory scores on the Scholastic Assessment Test I (SAT I) of the
College Board or the ACT, according to rank in their high school graduating class (see "Entrance Examination" in
this section). Students also must submit an application for admission to UNT with a transcript showing their
high school credits and rank in their graduating class. Transcripts showing rank in class should be sent after
completion of the junior year. Appropriateness of experience in lieu of a high school diploma (i.e., GED,
home schooling, graduation from an unaccredited high school, etc.) may be assessed on an individual review basis
by the UNT Admissions Review Committee (ARC). For more information, see "Admission by Individual
Review" in this section of the catalog. The following are recommended entrance units from high school.

Entrance Examination

Minimum scores for the entrance exam vary according to the applicant's rank in the high school
graduating class. Current requirements are listed below.

Policy for the Admission of New Freshmen

Pursuant to Subchapter S, Chapter 51, Texas Education Code, all state universities that did not have
open admissions for undergraduates were required to revise their admission policies for new freshmen, effective
with the 1998 fall semester. The University of North Texas Board of Regents approved appropriate changes to
the UNT policy for admission of new freshmen at that time. Additional revisions to the freshman admission
policy effective for Fall 2004 were approved by the Board of Regents in May 2003.

Note: Admission requirements for Fall 2005 were under review at the time this catalog went
to press. For current information, see the UNT web site: www.unt.edu and link to admissions.

Automatic Admission

Applicants who graduated in the top 10 percent* of their high school class shall be admitted
automatically to the university.

Regular Admission

Applicants shall be guaranteed admission if they:

Rank in the next 15 percent and have a minimum 950 SAT I or 20 ACT or

Rank in the 2nd quarter and have a minimum 1050 SAT I or 23 ACT or

Rank in the 3rd quarter and have a minimum 1180 SAT I or 26 ACT or

Applicants who rank in the 4th quarter, or applicants who do not meet the requirements in either of the
above automatic or regular admissions categories, will have their applications reviewed by a UNT
admission officer. (See "Admission by Individual Review" in the Admissions section of this catalog.)

*All applicants to the University of North Texas must submit SAT I or ACT scores. Applicants in the
top 10 percent not scoring at least 950 SAT I or 20 ACT and all applicants admitted by individual
review, regardless of rank in class or test scores, will be required to register for and successfully complete the
course PSYC 1000, Psychology of Learning and Success, during their first semester at UNT and/or participate
in other programs as may be required.

High school seniors who plan to attend UNT should take entrance examinations at least five months
before enrollment dates. See high school counselor for more information or write: The College Board ATP, P.O.
Box 592, Princeton, NJ 08540; or ACT, P.O. Box 168, Iowa City, IA 52243-0168.

Early Admission

On an individual basis, UNT may admit high school students to the freshman class after completion of
the junior year of high school. To be considered, students must:

1. be ranked in the top quarter of their class;

2. have a strong B average;

3. have completed 3 units of English and 2 units each of solid mathematics, social science and natural science;

5. submit letters from high school counselor or principal recommending early admission;

6. submit a letter from parents or guardians stating they approve of early admission; and

7. arrange an interview in the Office of Admissions.

Under this program, high school seniors may be enrolled concurrently at UNT through coordination with
the UNT Director of Admissions and the high school.

Texas Success Initiative

See "Texas Success Initiative" in the Academics section of this catalog for additional information.
All undergraduate students who enter a Texas public institution of higher education must be assessed to
determine the student's readiness to enroll in freshman-level academic course work. The University of North
Texas requires students to take the THEA  Texas Higher Education Assessment (formerly TASP)  and will
accept scores on the ASSET, COMPASS or ACCUPLACER tests. These tests measure college-level readiness
in reading, mathematics and writing.

Students must participate in a developmental program for those sections of the test not passed until
they have met the Texas Success Initiative. The Texas Success Initiative may be met by passing the highest level
of the developmental course or by passing an approved instrument after not passing the developmental course.

For additional information, contact the Program for Academic Readiness Office at (940) 565-4403.
The THEA test cannot be used in admissions decisions at UNT, but is necessary for adequate
preregistration advising.

Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science Students

The Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science (TAMS) is an early admission residential program
for accelerated study designed to attract high achieving high school age students to the science and
mathematics fields. Beginning the program no later than the junior year in high school, academy students are enrolled
as regular college students and earn two years of college credit. Students selected for this program are
admitted solely to attend the academy. Admission to the academy is based on the student's commitment to complete
the two-year program. Eligibility for enrollment in university courses is contingent upon continued enrollment
at the academy.

Until the TAMS class with which the student originally entered has completed the two-year
program, enrollment at UNT (outside of the academy curriculum) will be considered only if all published UNT
Early Admission program requirements and procedures are met. This includes successful completion of
first-year TAMS studies and a letter of recommendation from the academy dean. Should a student leave the program
for any reason and achieve high school graduation, the standard UNT admission process would apply.
Applicable freshman and/or transfer requirements for regular admission would need to be satisfied.

Concurrent Admissions Program

The University of North Texas has concurrent admission programs with several community
college districts including the Collin County Community College District (CCCCD), the Dallas County
Community College District (DCCCD) and North Central Texas College (NCTC). The concurrent admission
programs typically allow students who meet UNT admission requirements, including incoming freshmen, to
establish concurrent admission relationship with UNT prior to completing their studies at their community college.

Additional concurrent admissions programs are currently under development. Contact the Office
of Admissions for further information.

Academic Fresh Start for Admissions Decisions

Section 51.931 of the Texas Education Code allows students who were enrolled in a
postsecondary institution 10 or more years ago to seek admission to UNT without consideration of that academic work.

To take advantage of this option, you must request it prior to your first enrollment at UNT. You
must report and submit all of your college transcripts with your application for admission. You must also
complete and submit a Fresh Start request form. Hours excluded under the Fresh Start option may still be used to
claim exemption from the Texas Success Initiative (formerly TASP).

Contact the Office of Admissions for more information at (940) 565-2681, (800) UNT-8211
(868-8211), DallasFort Worth Metro (817) 267-3731, or by e-mail at undergrad@unt.edu.

Transfer Students

A transfer student is defined as any student new to UNT who has ever been enrolled at another college
or university prior to attendance at UNT.

UNT evaluates credit only from generally recognized accredited academic institutions. Applicants
must submit records of all accredited institutions attended, even if they do not wish to transfer the credit to UNT.

Transfer students with fewer than 30 transferable semester hours of college work must meet the
entrance requirements listed above for high school graduates, have a minimum 2.5 grade point average (4.0
grading system) and be eligible to return to any institution attended.

Transfer students with no less than 30 and no more than 44 transferable semester hours must:

have a minimum GPA of 2.25 on a 4.0 grading system;

submit application for admission; and

provide an official transcript from each college or university attended.

Transfer students with more than 44 hours of college work must:

have a minimum GPA of 2.0 on a 4.0 grading system;

submit application for admission; and

provide an official transcript from each college or university attended.

Transfer applicants who do not meet the above requirements for regular transfer admissions should refer
to the section titled "Admission by Individual Review for Freshmen or Transfer Students" in the
Admission section of this catalog for more information. All transfer applicants admitted by individual review will
be required to register for and successfully complete the course PSYC 1000 (Psychology of Learning
and Success) during the first semester at UNT, and to participate in other programs that may be required.

The admissions office determines acceptable transfer credit from other institutions. The student's
academic dean determines applicability of the credit to a degree program.

The admissions office provides, along with the acceptance notification letter, a copy of the
evaluated official transcript(s) from the other institution(s) of higher education. This evaluation of course credit
reflects accepted transfer credit as well as credit that has not been accepted in transfer.

If UNT does not accept lower-division course credit earned by a student at another Texas public
institution of higher education, UNT shall give written notice to the student and the other institution that the transfer
of the course credit is denied. UNT shall also provide written notice of the reasons for denying credit for
a particular course or set of courses at the request of the other institution.

A student may dispute the denial of credit by contacting a designated official at either UNT or the
other institution.

The two institutions and the student shall attempt to resolve the transfer of the course credit in
accordance with Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board rules and/or guidelines. If the transfer dispute is not
resolved to the satisfaction of the student or the institution at which the credit was earned within 45 days after the date
the student receives written notice of the denial, UNT shall notify the commissioner of the Texas Higher
Education Coordinating Board of its denial and the reason for the denial.

The commissioner of higher education or the commissioner's designee shall make the final
determination about a dispute concerning the transfer of course credit and give written notice of the determination to
the involved student and institutions.

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board shall collect data on the types of transfer disputes that
are reported and the disposition of each case that is considered by the commissioner or the commissioner's designee.

If UNT has cause to believe that a course being presented by a student for transfer from another school
is not of an acceptable level of quality, UNT will first contact the other institution and attempt to resolve
the problem. In the event that the two institutions are unable to come to a satisfactory resolution, UNT may
notify the commissioner of higher education, who may investigate the course. If its quality is found to be
unacceptable, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board may discontinue funding for the course.

Transfer credit is subject to audit during a student's academic career at UNT. Total hours accepted may
be increased or decreased to reflect correction of prior evaluation or consideration of additional transfer work
to ensure compliance with UNT academic policies.

Texas Community/Junior College Transfer Students

Prior to transferring to UNT from a Texas community/junior college, students should discuss the
UNT Course Equivalency Guide and the degree plan information contained in the UNT Undergraduate Catalog
with their community/junior college academic adviser/counselor.

Students are encouraged to plan all course selections at the community/junior college as far in advance
as possible. Proper planning and use of the UNT Course Equivalency Guide and the UNT degree plan
information will maximize the transfer of credit to UNT. Additionally, UNT participates in the Texas Common
Course Numbering System (TCCNS) to facilitate the transfer of credits. For additional information regarding
transfer evaluation information, contact the Office of Admissions.

Transfer of the Core Curriculum

A student who successfully completes a 42- to 48-semester-credit-hour common core curriculum at a
state-assisted institution of higher education in Texas may transfer that block of courses to UNT. The student
will receive academic credit for each of the courses transferred. The student will need to work with an
academic adviser in the appropriate college/school to determine if additional requirements will be necessary to satisfy
the
47-hour UNT core. See also the UNT Core Curriculum Transfer Articulation web page at
(essc.unt.edu/registrar/articulation/) for more information.

Choice of Catalog

Any student transferring directly from a Texas public community college to UNT shall have the
same choice of catalog designating degree requirements as the student would have had if the dates of attendance
at the university had been the same as the dates of attendance at the community college.

See "Graduation Under a Particular Catalog" in the Academics section of this catalog.

Advanced-Hour Credit

A lower-level course that is determined to be equivalent to a UNT upper-level course does not satisfy
the requirement of advanced hours.

Texas Common Course Numbering System

The Texas Common Course Numbering System (TCCNS) has been designed for the purpose of
aiding students in the transfer of general academic courses between colleges and universities throughout Texas. A
list of currently approved TCCNS numbers appears in the Courses of Instruction section at the back of
this catalog. In course descriptions, TCCNS prefixes and/or numbers, when applicable, are indicated in
parentheses immediately following the UNT course number. Information provided is subject to change without
notice and does not constitute a contract between UNT and a student or applicant for admission. Prospective
transfer students should contact the academic dean's office of their intended major for course work guidelines prior
to enrollment.

Transfer Hours

Students who complete work at another institution to be applied toward a bachelor's degree at the
University of North Texas, should make sure that the appropriate officer of the other institution furnishes to the Office
of Admissions at the University of North Texas a complete official transcript of such work.

The admissions office determines acceptable transfer credit from other institutions based on evaluation
of course content as described in the catalogs of those institutions and in consultation with appropriate
academic units at UNT as necessary for clarification. Transfer credit may only be received for course work completed at
an accredited institution of higher education. Transfer credit from other institutions will be converted to
semester hours and a 4.0 grading system for evaluation purposes as appropriate. The student's academic dean
determines applicability of the credit to a degree program. Students seeking the Bachelor of Applied Arts and
Sciences (BAAS) should refer to the special provisions of the respective BAAS degree programs.

Students who have begun residence work at UNT and who have attained junior standing may, only with
the prior written approval of their academic dean, enroll in and transfer hours from approved two-year colleges.

Transfer credit is subject to audit during a student's academic career at UNT. Total hours accepted may
be increased or decreased to reflect correction of prior evaluation or consideration of additional transfer work
to ensure compliance with UNT academic policies.

Admission by Individual Review for Freshmen or Transfer Students

Freshmen applicants or transfer applicants who have fewer than 30 transferable hours or who rank in
the fourth quartile of their school graduating class, or any applicants who do not meet the requirements in
either the freshman automatic or regular admissions categories will have their applications reviewed by a
UNT admissions officer and be given the opportunity to provide additional information to justify their admission
to the university. These applicants may be asked to submit letters of recommendation* and to complete an
essay addressing their education and career goals, and/or may be counseled to retake some tests, to complete
college course work prior to admission to UNT, to complete an interview with admissions staff, or to
submit additional information for consideration. Appropriateness of experience in lieu of high school diploma
(i.e., GED, home schooling, graduation from an unaccredited high school) will also be assessed on an
individual review basis.

Factors that may assist in determining academic readiness under the individual review provision
may include, but are not limited, to the following:

high school attended

first-generation college attendance

employment experience

special abilities such as bilingual proficiency and meeting family responsibilities

individual achievements

leadership activities

public service

extra-curricular activities

Consideration for admission by individual review can occur only if the applicant has submitted all
required credentials, letters of recommendation*, essay, etc., and, if required, scheduled an interview with an
admissions officer prior to the published deadline for admission application.

New UNT students who have fewer than 30 hours of transfer credit, excluding non-traditional credit,
who are admitted via individual review and have less than a 2.0 grade point average will be placed on
academic alert. Other transfer students with 30 or more hours of transfer credit who are admitted via individual
review
are placed automatically on academic probation if their transfer cumulative grade point average falls below
2.0. See "Transfer Student" in the Admission section of this catalog for a statement of the current
minimum entrance requirements for transfer students. To avoid academic suspension, transfer students admitted
on academic probation must make a grade point average equal or exceeding the minimum for the
appropriate classification as shown in the Table of Minimum Academic Requirements. See the Academics section of
this catalog.

A limited number of admissions may be granted to students who do not satisfy the admission standards
but who have demonstrated some exceptional talent. These students must have the approval of the Vice
President for Academic Affairs or a designee of the Vice President.

All students admitted by the individual review process, regardless of rank in class or test scores,
are required to register for and successfully complete PSYC 1000 (Psychology of Learning and Success)
during their first semester at UNT, and/or participate in other programs as may be required.

For more information, contact the Office of Admissions.

* Letters of Recommendation: Beginning
freshmen who are pursuing admission by individual
review should submit letters of recommendation from their high school counselor and two of their
teachers. Transfer students who are pursuing admission by individual review should request letters of
recommendation from two of their college instructors and their college academic adviser. All letters should address
the student's academic ability and preparedness for university-level study.

Transient and Summer Visiting Students

Undergraduate students who have been enrolled at another college or university previously may
attend UNT as transient students for one long semester only, provided their intent is to return to their
previous college or university. A summer visiting student is an undergraduate student (U.S. citizen or
permanent resident alien) who enrolls at UNT for any summer term with the intent of returning to the home
institution upon completion of summer studies. An official transcript from only the last college or university
attended must be submitted with the application for admission and the application fee prior to the application
deadline. The transcript must reflect that the student is not on academic probation or suspension from that institution.

If a transient or summer visiting student later decides to continue at UNT, the transient or summer
visiting status ends and all admission requirements for a beginning transfer student (see "Transfer Students"
above) must be met prior to the second enrollment at UNT. All students previously admitted as a transient or
summer visitor must first contact the Office of Admissions for clearance to re-enroll. If a student originally applies as
a regular transfer student and is academically rejected for admission, the student cannot change
application status to transient or summer visiting.

Because of federal laws and immigration requirements, international students are not eligible to enroll
at UNT as transient or summer visiting students.

See "Orientation" in the Admissions section of this catalog for additional information.

Inactive Continuing Students (undergraduate students only)

Students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents and who have previously attended UNT but
who have not attended at least once during the 12 consecutive months prior to the semester of planned
enrollment and who have not received a degree during that time period, must complete the following requirements to
re-enroll:

complete the Inactive Record Update Form;

submit transcripts from all colleges attended, if any, since leaving UNT;

if previous UNT enrollment was as a transient, dual credit, summer visiting student or special student,
all academic credentials are required prior to re-enrollment; and

inactive students who have not enrolled elsewhere since leaving UNT and who are in good
academic standing are required only to complete the Inactive Student Update Form.

Graduate Students

U.S. citizens or permanent residents who hold a bachelor's degree or its equivalent from a
regionally accredited institution and who wish to be considered for admission at UNT for the first time should contact
the Toulouse School of Graduate Studies. Applicants who hold a degree are considered graduate students,
whether or not an additional degree is sought. General admission requirements to the Toulouse School of
Graduate Studies, specific admission requirements to graduate degree programs and descriptions of graduate courses
are printed in the Graduate Catalog (www.gradschool.unt.edu). International students should contact the
International Admissions and Advising Center (www.international.unt.edu/isa).

International Students

Applicants who do not hold either U.S. citizenship or U.S. permanent resident alien status in the U.S.
should apply for admission by submitting a completed International Student Application for Admission. Students
may choose from these types of admission:

English Language Study Only

1. Intensive English Language Institute (IELI) Only.

English Language Study/Conditional Admission

1. IELI plus UNT Undergraduate.

2. IELI plus UNT Graduate.

Direct UNT Admission

1. Undergraduate: with TOEFL or other acceptable proof of English language proficiency.

2. Graduate: with TOEFL or other acceptable proof of English language proficiency.

UNT applicants should apply at least eight months before the anticipated enrollment date and
should arrange to have test scores and transcripts in the International Admissions office at least six months before
the enrollment date. Verification of credentials also may be required. If transferring from any college or
university, applicants must meet all normal UNT transfer admission requirements as determined and evaluated by
the International Admissions office. Specific requirements are detailed below.

UNT will not issue immigration documents for student visas until all admission credentials and
financial support documents have been received and approved. For more information, see the
International Student Information booklet available at www.international.unt.eu/isa/intlbrochure.pdf and from
International Admissions, Kendall Hall, Room 173. A $75 (U.S. dollars) fee is required each for IELI applicants and
for UNT applicants. Application for both IELI and UNT, therefore, requires a $150 fee. Applications will not
be processed if the non-refundable fee is not submitted with the International Student Application for
Admission form.

International Student Admission Requirements

All students who are not U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents are considered international students
at the University of North Texas and must meet the following admission requirements, plus any
departmental requirements.

1. Apply for admission to UNT using the International Student Application for
Admission and pay the $75 application fee.

3. Submit official transcripts, degree certificates if a degree was earned, and national examination marks
if required in the student's country, in the native language with English translations.

a. Students who have never attended a college or university must submit official high school records

b. Students who have attended a college or university for less than one year must submit official high
school records and official university records from each institution attended.

c. Students who have attended a college or university for more than one year must submit official college
or university records from each institution attended. Students with fewer than 30 semester hours of transfer
credit must have a grade point average of 2.5 or higher. Students with 30-44 semester hours of transfer credit
must have a grade point average of 2.25/4.0. Students with more than 44 semester hours of credit must have a
grade point average of 2.0/4.0.

d. Transfer credit is subject to audit during a student's academic career at UNT. Total hours accepted may
be increased or decreased to reflect correction of prior evaluation or consideration of additional transfer work
to ensure compliance with UNT academic policies.

4. F-1 and J-1 visa students must provide proof of available financial resources for one academic year
(nine months): undergraduate, $20,000; graduate, $19,000 (approximate costs).

5. Graduate applicants should consult the current UNT
Graduate Catalog for additional requirements
for their specific degree program.

IMPORTANT: Students who have completed 12 years of primary and secondary school plus a
three-year bachelor's degree are eligible for bachelor's degree admission only and must complete the UNT
bachelor's degree before becoming eligible for master's level admission.

THEA Requirement and Remediation for Non-native English Speakers

All undergraduate students, including international students, permanent residents and/or citizens, must
take the Texas Higher Education Assessment (THEA) test (formerly TASP) before enrolling in
college-level courses, as required by the State of Texas.

Students who do not pass all three sections (reading, writing, math) of the THEA test must
take remediation courses in the subject area(s) of the test not passed until they have met the Texas
Success Initiative requirement.

International Studies and Programs offers a required remediation course for non-native speakers
of English: THEA Writing Online for International Students (TWO).

The following policies and procedures pertain to undergraduate students who must take
remediation courses mandated by their performance on the THEA test.

1. Students must register for the course mandated by the UNT Program for Academic Readiness Office
every semester until they have met the Texas Success Initiative.
Required THEA remediation courses may not be postponed to a later semester.

2. Students must establish their class schedules so that the THEA remediation course receives first
consideration. Participation in this course is the condition for the students' registration for other UNT
academic classes.

3. Students may not enroll in classes in the English Department until they have passed the writing section
of the THEA.

4. Students must attend and complete their assigned THEA remediation course. Strict attendance policies
are enforced.

5. Students who do not pass the THEA remediation course will be enrolled in the same course the
following semester unless the student passes that section of the THEA test.

6. Grades for UNT international students in THEA Writing Online for International Students (TWO) will
be available at the end of each semester in Kendall Hall, Room 259.

7. If a student enrolled in TWO takes the THEA
and passes that section of the THEA, he or she should contact
the instructor in the remediation course immediately. If the student is passing the course at that time, he or she may
stop attending the course and still receive a passing score, but no refund will be given.

Adult Admission Program

Freshman applicants who have been out of high school for at least five years and who have earned
fewer than 30 semester hours at a college or university may be eligible for admission to UNT under the
Adult Admission Program.

Individuals eligible for this program may be accepted without the required SAT I or ACT test scores
only if evidence provided to the admissions office staff suggests the potential of academic success for the
individual.

Applicants under the Adult Admission Program must submit an application, application fee, a copy of
all high school transcripts and official transcripts of any previous college/university work. Students who
are transferring fewer than 30 hours from another college/university also must have a minimum 2.5 grade
point average (4.0 grading system) and be eligible to return to any institution attended. Upon review of
this information, the admissions office may ask for a written personal statement. A personal interview with
the prospective student may also be required at the discretion of the reviewer (see "Admission by
Individual Review for Freshman or Transfer Students"). The purpose of the interview is to allow the committee to
gain additional information relevant to the admission decision.

Students who are admitted under the provisions of the Adult Admission Program are subject to all
other academic and programmatic requirements of the university.

Persons interested in the Adult Admission Program are encouraged to contact the Office of Admissions
for further information or to request adult admission consideration.

Admission or Re-enrollment as Related to Personal Conduct
and Admission Falsification

It is the responsibility of the Director of Admissions to refer to the Center for Student Rights and
Responsibilities any application for admission or re-enrollment, which indicates possible ineligibility of the
applicant on grounds involving personal conduct or admission falsification. The potential of the applicant to
benefit from university attendance, as well as the welfare and safety of the student body and of the university, will
be carefully considered before permission to enroll will be granted.

Orientation

All accepted undergraduate students new to UNT are required to attend an orientation for
academic advisement prior to registration for classes.

New students entering in the fall semester are invited and encouraged to attend one of the
Orientation sessions where they receive individual attention and assistance with class scheduling. These sessions
are conducted during June, July and August. Orientation includes campus life sessions, an activities mart,
placement testing, academic advising, early registration (web registration) for classes and completion of the tuition and
fee payment process. Generally, six three-day conferences are planned. A nominal fee is charged for room,
meals and administrative costs. All new students who do not attend one of the summer Orientation sessions
must attend Orientation during the regular registration period.

Fall semester transfer students who have applied by the fall admission deadline (June 15, 2004, for
2004 fall applicants) and who have been accepted prior to July 1 are invited to attend one of two early
transfer orientations in June or July.

All other new undergraduate students, including transient students, summer visiting students,
beginning freshmen who did not attend Orientation, and transfer students are required to attend a one-day
Orientation
preceding regular registration (web registration). Academic advising takes place during University
Academic Orientation.

New international students are required to attend an orientation conducted by the International
Admissions and Advising Center.

All new undergraduate students receive orientation information following acceptance notification.

Advanced Placement and Credit by Examination

UNT awards undergraduate college credit on the basis of local and national examinations, subject
to general limitations. This also includes military service credit and classroom instruction offered through
the non-academic institutions approved by the American Council on Education. Such credit is not included
in determining grade point averages and has the following
additional restrictions:

UNT recognizes exam credit in transfer from other accredited institutions within limits outlined
above. Scores from exam credits accepted in transfer are not re-evaluated by UNT. Credit by examination cannot
be substituted for any grade, including an F, that you earned for a course in high school, at UNT or at
another college or university. The credit you earn through examination will not be included in your grade
point average at UNT, but it will be included in your accepted semester credit hours and on your UNT transcript.

Credit and advanced placement may be granted only in accordance with policy and procedures in
operation at UNT. Departments that honor the CLEP Subject Examinations, the College Board Advanced
Placement Examination or other instruments for granting advanced placement set departmental standards for their use.

Advanced Placement Examinations (AP)

Beginning freshmen who have received college-level training in secondary school and who present
scores of 3, 4 or 5 on the appropriate Advanced Placement Examination will be granted, on request, placement
and credit for comparable courses at the university following enrollment.

Note: The minimum score required for awarding of credit from Advanced Placement is under review
and subject to change.

The College Board Advanced Placement Examinations are offered in May each year and are
administered by The College Board in most school districts. All requests for information should be directed to the
Advanced Placement Program of The College Board, P.O. Box 6671, Princeton, NJ, 08541-6671.

AP Credit Evaluation and Notification

Entering freshmen who took the Advanced Placement (AP) Exam for credit (and who designated that
their scores be sent to the University of North Texas) will receive an evaluation of their scores at Freshman
Orientation during the summer, if scores have been received. Students who do not receive their AP evaluations at that
time should check with the Office of Admissions prior to receiving academic advisement to confirm that their AP
results have been received.

Former, continuing and transfer students who wish to have their AP test results applied to their
UNT transcript must initiate this process through the Office of Admissions during their first semester enrolled
at UNT. (Note: students who fail to initiate the process during their first semester at UNT may still be eligible
to receive credit, but may be subject to the standards in place at the time of initiation, rather than those that
were current when the test was taken.)

College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

UNT recognizes credit earned through College Level Examinations of the College Board only if the credit
is first certified by the Office of Admissions. The dean of the student's college or school at UNT has the option
of applying CLEP credit to the student's degree plan. Both the objective and essay portions of the CLEP
English examination are required.

CLEP General Examinations

UNT does not grant credit on the basis of College Board CLEP General Examination scores.

CLEP Subject Examinations

Credit is certified but not necessarily applied to a degree if the student scores at or above the average
scores of those students in the national norms sample who earned a C in regular college courses on the subject.

Effective July 1, 2001, CLEP began using a new "common recommended credit-granting score" for all
CLEP exams. UNT recognizes CLEP credit recommendations as posted on the official student score report. As
CLEP implements this change, UNT will use it.

Use of CLEP Credit

Credit can be given for only one of the following (with essay): English composition examination
or freshman English examination. Credit is not awarded until the English department has certified the
essay portion.

A student may not earn examination credit for any course failed. All general regulations for credit
by examination apply to CLEP credit.

* UNT requires you to sign up for the essay portion as well as the multiple-choice portion of these
exams. The essay will be graded by the UNT English department if you earn an acceptable score on the
multiple-choice portion. The English department will determine the amount of credit to be awarded.

SAT II

UNT does not grant college credit on the basis of The College Board SAT II (formerly known as
Achievement Test) scores.

Examinations Administered by Other UNT Departments

Credit in certain courses offered at the university may be earned by locally administered examinations.
On the basis of previous training or experience, any student who has reason to believe he or she can pass
an examination in one or more of these courses may be permitted to apply for such examination with the
approval of the dean of the school or college under which the particular course is offered.

Students should first consult with the appropriate department about the availability of specific
examinations for credit.

Credit by exam is not included in the computation of grade point averages. Information on procedures
is available through the office of the student's academic dean.

Educational Experience in the Armed Services

Credit may be given for formal service school courses completed in the armed services after evaluation
of official documents by the Office of Admissions. The student's academic dean decides if credit awarded
for such courses will be applied toward requirements for the bachelor's degree.

International Baccalaureate (IB)

A student who has completed a high school international baccalaureate program and has scored 5, 6 or 7
on the higher level IB examination may request college credit at UNT. The student's academic dean may
grant semester credit hours toward the student's major. Additional information, including arts and sciences
related courses, may be obtained from the Dean's Office for Undergraduates and Student Advising in the College
of Arts and Sciences.
